There have been rumors floating around that Mercedes is considering a hardcore version of the GT inspired by their new AMG GT3 racer that's enjoying its world premiere at this week's Geneva Motor Show.

Since Audi released an all-new R8 production car, it was only natural that the racing version got updated as well. Meet the Audi R8 LMS, a race car that already meets the new GT3 regulations to be introduced in 2016.

The 2014 Formula 1 season was wildly successful for the Mercedes team. The Silver Arrow had won 16 out of 19 Grand Prix and never failed to podium in all the races. However, the once untouchable Scuderia Ferrari team struggled through an abysmal year without a single win and ultimately finished fourth in the constructor's standings.
